• Racy styling, comfy interior, rev-happy twin-cam engine, good value.

• Option list can overpower low price, body roll apparent during hard cornering.

  Sunfire Rocks! - 2001 Pontiac Sunfire
  By marley - October 14 - 12:03 am

  Amazing how this car has been running solid. No major repairs, no minor repairs, and good gas mileage. It costs half as much as a Honda and the stereo sounds better than my wifes 2005 Lexus!

  Absolutely a blast to cruise around in. I got mine with the Sun & Sound Package... Wish I wouldve got the GT but the SE Coupe is just as nice--peppy engine not race car. Perfect for high school, college and other 20- somethings...

  Owned my car for 2yrs & 2.5 mnths - over 57,800 miles on it! Holds up well in an accident. Use KN air filter for a little extra hp. Cant wait to get another one!

  I love my black 2001 Sunfire - 2001 Pontiac Sunfire
  By Zeak Harbors - June 28 - 8:16 am

  I got my car new with 5 miles and have had it up to this point. I drove the hell out of that car. Its fast with good acceleration has a sporty look that is totally unique and I enjoyed the interior design. Comfortable ride. It handles well as i drive like a maniac and it has had minor problems (oil leak, fuel pump) but is a solid car. Its a tank in the winter. The FWD got me through many awful WV winters. I would run this car until it explodes if the value wasnt so low. I know some have problems but mine was built well enough to last my teenage rambunctiousness and get me though college as well as take me on many vacations. For the price it is the best there is and I would buy it again...

  Decent overall, but has some problems - 2001 Pontiac Sunfire
  By Ken Y. - June 25 - 3:26 pm

  My girlfriend purchased her 2001 sunfire in July of 01. This has been a very reliable car, but it has had some recurring problems. Brakes - The front rotors have been replaced 3 times and I have having them replaced again this weekend. Every 15k miles, the brakes begin to pulsate and need service. The rotors can only be turned once, after that they have to be replaced. This is a horrible problem that is present on many GM vehicles, including the sister car the Cavalier. Build Quality - The fit/finish leaves a lot to be desired. Parts look very cheap and after 25 - 30k there are a lot of rattles etc. Overall the car has been very reliable and has never broken down in 95k miles

  The Best Car Ever! 😄 - 2001 Pontiac Sunfire
  By Karen Guiles - July 30 - 3:57 am

  My car is an automatic. I bought my car 11/01/2000 and it had only 7 miles on it and now has 117000. I love the car! It was perfect until the last 2 years. Its had the Fuel Pump, starter and transmission replaced now. Unfortunately, I havent been able to have it garage kept so the paint is failing. My Son bought me a new car so Ill sadly be finding a new home for my Sunfire. Im very attached but just dont need 2 cars and dont need to pay Insurance, Registration and Inspection on both. If its well maintained it will last for years!

  By Jamie LinerMan - May 22 - 2:00 am

  This car is great its a good handling car, very good pick up and isnt hard on the wallet. Only thing i would change is the quality of some of the interior pices they ratal a little bet at high way speeds.

  Visibility Problem - 2001 Pontiac Sunfire
  By a m e - January 3 - 10:00 am

  Too many Blind spots, not fun driving at night. Front hood is extremely deceivingly large an hard to judge. I will try to get rid of my car, because I have a long commute to work and back.

  still going? - 2001 Pontiac Sunfire
  By ROY - November 4 - 10:00 am

  It been a good little car but with a lot of problems. After 4 attempts to fix transmission gringing noise problem still persists. A/C lower 2 settings no longer work. Fuel gauge failed and needed replaced. Low on power compared to competitors. Seat are now worn out. This car is only 3 years old with only 42000 miles on it.
